Write three body paragraphs for an essay explaining Harriet Tubman's role in
the Underground Railroad. Each of your body paragraphs should contain a topic
sentence, at least three relevant supporting details, and a concluding sentence that
wraps up the ideas of the paragraph. Each paragraph should answer one of these
questions:
 Paragraph 1: What was the Underground Railroad, and whom did it serve?
 Paragraph 2: Who was Harriet Tubman?
 Paragraph 3: How did Harriet Tubman play an important role in the
Underground Railroad?
If you quote directly from the Encyclopaedia Britannica article, be sure to use
quotation marks around the text and provide an in-text citation.
Example: "She led dozens of enslaved people to freedom in the North along the
route of the Underground Railroad — an elaborate secret network of safe houses
organized for that purpose" ("Harriet Tubman").
